He was born on February 12, 1809, at Sinking Spring Farm in Hardin County, Kentucky, in a one room log cabin.

He died at the Peterson House on 453 Tenth Street (now 516 Tenth Street), a boarding house owned by William Peterson, which was just across the street from Ford's theatre, where Lincoln was shot. The date was April 14, 1865.

The President was placed on a bed in the front parlor, a doctor was called, and examined the President but could do much for him, medically, as the bullet was embedded deep in his brain. The doctor did try to insure he was as comfortable as he could be.

President Lincoln died the following morning at approximately 7:22am, on April 15, 1865.
